ARCHAIC ESKIMO
Ancient Arts of Alaska
An elongated torso, a pure, stylized face, a gaze from eternity…
Are we looking at an idol from the Cyclades, a prehistoric Venus of Lespugue, or an ancestor from Easter Island?
The truth is elsewhere: this figure carved in marine ivory, patinated by the cold, the wind and the passage of time, comes from those vast frozen lands of the Far North.
Antique works of art from Alaska, born of archaic North American Eskimo cultures, are extremely rare.
After years spent passionately working, researching and « hunting » objects, the Galerie Flak is happy to honor this art in its new exhibition: “Archaic Eskimo, Ancient Arts of Alaska”, 8 Rue des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France.
Over 30 sculptures in ivory representing human or animal figures, veritable “miniature giants”, along with shamanic masks are presented in this video / exhibition. Enjoy!
